demonstration ware pre-recorded. It would have been much more fun
to see a video of one the presentations on the day fed into the
software so we could see the actualrealtimeresults. Text to

clear and regional accents can still confuse the hell out of some

I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Ruby on Rails, so I finally got down to running through the tutorial at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html
Pretty impressive I must say, but the jury will be out until I get to try and build something ‘real world’ with it. This might not be for a while, as all of my spare ‘geek’ spare time is being invested in Umbraco at the moment.
I am pretty sure it would handle any of the web projects that usually land at my feet, but it always comes down to whether I ‘like’ it or not.
Also, I did a brief search for UK based shared hosting packages that support ROR and only managed to find one.

please remove the files created immediately after backup otherwise there is a
real danger of goggle or some other bot indexing sensitive information about your site including the database connection string.
8. Realtime backup progress information. By clicking 'Display backup monitor window' when initiating a backup you can see realtime progress on what Umbraco backup
is doing.
That's it for now. Please feel free to drop me any questions.
Many Thanks.

Recently I have undertaken a contract
that is challenging to the extent that I don't have the drive for development in my spare time. Additionally my health has not
been so good of late. As a result the only development on Umbraco backup

Everyone knows about Firebug right? If not and you are a web developer, you are missing out and making your life much harder!Yslow is an add-on for firebug that analyses the download time of a webpage and gives you tips on how to improve. Test results are graded A-F and displayed in a very simple format. You can click on each test which takes you to a Yahoo page explaining the test in detail and the steps that can be taken to get a better grade and ultimately better page performance.Foxmarks... over the notifier shows you the feeds that have unread items and clicking launches Google reader. This is a great time saver as it removes my temptation to check if there are any new posts in my reader every 5-10 minutes which obviously interrupts

I seem to be answering a lot of questions about the way I work
recently so I thought I'd write a blog post to clear it all up. The
confusion seems to be around how I split my time between Umbraco
and TeamSite/LiveSite work and what Ferguson Moriyama is - just a
front company for my invoicing or an actual company?
Here is how it all fits together.
Firstly, I'm often on a full time contract. In the last 3 years
I've been exceptionally lucky to have a great client (The Bank of New York Mellon)
that has kept me busy 9-5 - and no more I gratefully add. This
relationship is now drawing to a close.
When I'm on contract, I'm still the MD of Ferguson Moriyama. My
company is myself plus 2 other full time employees. My wife is one

satisfactory, but there will be mistakes - use stemmed to us for
example.
So why is this useful? Imagine someone visits your site... some free time I may well try and move all of this
prototype functionality into an ActionHandler and then add some
personalisation for members who are logged on to my site.

friendly language - you could possibly even start an open source
collaboration on such a document.Include real information on how IE6 costs your organisation
money on a day to day basis. Wasted dev/testing hours, time...
sets you apart from the crowd and makes you are craftsman? Sure,
everybody loves to moan from time to time it's a human condition -
but do you really mean it?Having gotten that out of the way, let me state clearly that I
would like to see the end... ranting about IE6 on twitter it
is probably a sign that it is consuming too much of your time and
you should stand up and do something about it.I find #2 concerning. I have quite recently been party to

So what is painful about recruitment?
Recruitments agents
First of all, recruitment agents. We don’t use them, but they call us anyway. They use tricks to get around our reception. They waste our time.
I think agents are a good idea... to encourage blanket applications from people who are casting their net as wide as possible. Some of these sites make it really simple to keyword search a job, select all results and send a standard application to all of them.
This suggests to me, that you don’t want our job, you just want a job. Again, it is a waste of your time and ours.
To work around this we decided to create a recruitment process that you can’t apply to by firing off an automated email.
Traditional recruitment applications tend
